I have walked past this relatively new place a few times and decided to get one of their pizzas for lunch today and I am really glad I did. This was great. Not too heavy, chicken was stupidly juicy and the crust was on point. It's definitely entering the rotation.

I am a Nikon shooter and have been collecting oddball early DSLR's that use the F-mount. Just got this baby in the other day and she is in clean condition and works great.

Took this guy out with me yesterday when I went out to see the new spidermans. I must say the image quality for 2004 is pretty fantastic but man alive is this camera SLOW. My Kodak DCS 760c from 2001 is (no hyperbole) 10 times faster. Still a fun shooter and if I want those popping colors I will take it out again for sure.

Filling my quiver full of oddball early DSLR's that take Nikon F-Mount glass this was a must add eventually. I went back and forth if I wanted this or the S5Pro but I already have a D200 so I figured this was the better (and cheaper) option). Took a few test shots in the backyard of a bar to make sure it works and I would say it does!

I love this quirky early DSLRs. It'a always fun to see how people were approaching it before they all kind of became the same.

Along with a few test shots from my local bar's backyard I took last night to make sure it was working.

This gets added to my two Kodak DCS series cameras (760c and Pro SLR/n) along with my D1 for some early DSLR goodness. Still need to track down a working 420 but that is easier said than done, especially the battery situation.

I want to hug whoever designed this though. First off it takes 4 AA batteries which is a godsend. Also the vertical grip is quite nice, nowhere near as chunky and awkward as the SLR/n. I also rather enjoy the double LCD display in the back. Old LCDs were so low res and slow opting for a mono screen above it to control basic settings is really nice because it's fast and responsive. It also glows orange.

Hoping to take this out this weekend if the weather plays along for some Super-CCD goodness.

Picked this up in super clean condition the other day. Everything works great, even have the manual and CD!

Prices on these have been steadily climbing but when I found one with the box, manual, papers and sales receipt for $200 I jumped on it. Everything seems to be in working order, looking forward to putting a test roll through it.

I made sure to pick up a copy of it that goes up to 1000 ASA, some only go up to 400 which is kind of limiting.

I also have a 46mm UV filter for this guy coming, so convenient that it takes standard filters and meters TTL.

Once thing I will say is - people were NOT overselling how loud this thing is. It's polaroid loud.

The Minced pork, 5-spice bechamel pizza is so far up my alley and the frozen complimented it nicely. It wasn't a packed shitshow either, plenty of seating. If this sort of this is in your wheelhouse I would swing by.
